Note:
*According
to Vernon Moore the men not pictured were assigned to the newly formed
Army Tank Destroyers. Some of the men eventually returned to the 191st and
others stayed with the Tank Destroyers which would later be abolished.
From what I understand the weapons being developed were ineffective and
not proven. The concept evolved back to tanks fighting tanks. Evidently in
the development of the Tank Destroyers (as a weapon) it became
increasingly as armored as a tank was thus the Army disbanded the concept
and the idea came back full circle and tanks continued to fight tanks. I
believe these men left the 191st sometime in 1941, a few returned, some
continued until the Tank Destroyers were abolished in 1945 (These notes were taken down during a conversation with Vernon More and I don't completely trust my note taking. If there are discrepancies please email me) |
